Community Safety

Essex Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs

Their Essex youth group is part of a wider UK network that runs a range of activities to enhance the skills, confidence, and employability of  young people. One area of their work is giving young people something positive to do with their spare time outside of education so they are less likely to get involved in  anti-social behaviour.  

We funded a project based at their outdoor adventure centre in Colchester, providing outdoor activity days for year 9 students that are struggling at school. This helps them to gain a sense of achievement while developing different coping strategies to manage in their everyday lives.
